Dr. Bagoff said that a condition of approval should include that all existing FCC rules and regulations would be followed. Mr. Weston asked if the radio frequency emission from the antennas on the structure impacted the surrounding community. Mr. Bruno said the emission was minimal Mr. Gurland asked if the Omland memo dated July 5, 2013 pertained to the current Application because it was identified as “Application No. PB-12-11", not “PB-13-12”. It was determined to be a typographical error and should have been identified as “PB-13- 12”, not the previous CIC “PB-12-11” Application. Mr. Gurland inquired if the structure was made of stainless steel; he wanted to know if the different types of antennas operated by several different companies would interfere with one another. Mr. Bruno said that at some point it could happen but not with the current or proposed installations; the antennas operated on separate frequencies. Mr. Grygiel asked if the approved CIC antennas from the prior Application had been installed. Mr. Bruno said he believed the work had been completed. Gary Clower, PE, Powder River Development Services, LLC, was sworn in, stated his credentials and accepted to be an expert witness in civil engineering. Mr. Clower described the property site conditions and the proposed microwave antennas; he discussed how the antennas would be mounted to the tower. The equipment was industry standard in design which was all regulated by Telecommunication Industry Association (TIA) Code. He said all required construction documents would be supplied to the Building Department. Referring to the Omland Engineering report dated July 5, 2013; he indicated that no additional space would be needed to house the ancillary equipment; it would be located with the equipment already in place from the prior application. Additionally, as discussed at the Technical Review Committee, a survey had been completed and would be submitted to the Planning Board. Mr. Weston noted the site plans were titled TRF Services, LLC; he asked if the improvements were for this application. Mr. Pryor said the site plan indicated the applicant was Communication Infrastructure Corporation; CIC was doing the work on behalf of TRF Services, LLC. Mr. Bruno was recalled to explain that TRF had hired CIC to build the network; TRF Services would be leasing the network. Mr. Dwyer advised the Board that

oing the work on behalf of TRF Services, LLC. Mr. Bruno was recalled to explain that TRF had hired CIC to build the network; TRF Services would be leasing the network. Mr. Dwyer advised the Board that the explanation was acceptable. Mr. Gurland inquired if the neighboring property owners had been noticed. Mr. Pryor answered in the affirmative; he said all documents had been delivered to the Planning Board Secretary. Mr. Russo asked Mr. Clower to confirm the proposed antennas were within the footprint of the tower structure. Mr. Clower answered the antennas would fit within the footprint of the tower. Council President McCartney asked for documentation showing an overlay of all antennas, as discussed at the Technical Review meeting. She said the most recent approvals had not been included in the current presentation; an overlay of the site and a visual presentation would be helpful to the Board.
